#33 Winter test of Hyundai Ioniq part 2

[@kennethmclean872]

These claasic ioniq look like the goods , i just brought a 2019 after watching all you videos. Cant wait to go pick her up

[@roidroid]

17:00 You can just press the black button on the car-door handle, it will unlock if it senses the keyfob nearby.

[@plutoorjan]

True that. :)

[@doublesdetailer7709]

Old school ev vlog trip and music is a classic . I wonder how many views per month or sux months your older vlogs get. More stats for the next trip talk. 😊

[@RubenKelevra]

Thanks for the awesome review, have a nice holiday and festive season :)

[@Trades46]

I'm surprised the Ioniq despite having the smallest battery size at 28kWh actually beats the gen2 Leaf (with 30kWh) and i3 (with 33kWh) when it comes to actual range. Well done Hyundai. However Hyundai actually acknowledges with the Model 3 & Bolt with >200 mile range, the 2018+ Ioniq EV will actually receive an increase in battery pack size. Given Korea's innovation to electronics (Samsung, LG etc.) I would not be surprised if Hyundai will quickly catch GM & Tesla in EV development.

[@jillthompson6110]

Trades46, LG supplies the battery packs for Chevy Bolt. I'm sure Hyundai will end up using the same batteries from LG.

[@real_Sandman]

Thank you very much Bjorn! For a second car, the Ioniq seems to be the best deal atm, and I don´t know why I should wait for the Model 3 if I can get everything I need for at least 10k € less. Thx for the review!

[@pete9b]

Great review(s) Bjørn, very nice you check-out EV's other than Tesla which unfortunately, most people cannot afford to buy. God jul. 🎄👍🏻

[@bjornnyland]

I will be reviewing more EVs next year :)

[@catbabel]

@Bjorn: I've enjoyed your Tesla and other vehicle reviews, it's good that you can be an enthusiast while also being open about a car's flaws.

[@Ematuresco]

Bjørn egolf or ioniq? Tough question

[@92sic]

To open the car without the key you must press the black button on the handle, btw happy Christmas bjorn!

[@Programmer7]

19:05 Must be easy to convince others to let you review their electric cars when you can trade Optimus Prime! I really enjoyed this road trip, and the Ioniq is a great car.

[@nitelite78]

11:28 Beautiful scenes and light.

[@doublesdetailer7709]

Awesome music Bjorn. Love your car choice. Love your channel. Keep pushing

[@alexk7572]

Based on your review, I bought a Ioniq last month. I can totally agree with you that it's such a pleasure to drive! Thumbs up for Hyundai with this model :-)

[@niklast.6028]

I've bought an Ioniq very much due to your nice reviews Bjørn! Taknemmelighed fra Sverige!

[@mauroscimone8584]

Wonderful video! You make people take pleasure to travel and drive; Ioniq is really good car!

[@jethrojackson]

The amount of range despite the below freezing temperature, added weight due to accumulating ice, and using the heater was very impressive. The Ioniq will soon be offered in Southern California and with our warmer weather, it appears it will be able to easily top 200km (124 miles). Thank you for your extended review, enjoyed it.

[@volvocars5189]

Regarding the keyless access, press the little black button on the door handle to unlook the doors. It's a Hyundai/KIA feature. :-)

[@oreskec]

do a review of opel ampera as soon as it comes

[@bmlisboa]

thank you bjorn for this excellent video I will go away buy the ioniq now ....is perfect for mi here portugal impossible -7 spanisch and portugal fast chargeur is good now 3 yeard pass for you is very good your country for this ::):):):)

[@jaelim0011]

If Hyundai (or any other car makers) engineers watch this video they realize he was driving alone in cold icy country road with no one nothing insight along the road.....imagine if the car stops for no reason in the middle of nowhere dark cold Scandinavia road....you guys not only building a car but it's more like a lifeline for those environments. It must be very very reliable. Keep up the good work and please build a car with great responsibility.

[@zensascha8690]

I like your videos so much. Great landscapes and fantastic car. Next car will be a electric one line the Ioniq. Greetings from Germany.

[@stantollerton3551]

Really informative and entertaining review!! Thanks Bjorn!!

[@jmcclelland85]

First Time viewer. Norway is very beautiful!. It reminds me of my home in Northern Pennsylvania (USA). No wonder so many Swedish and Norwegian People Settled here!

[@nemanjareljic]

Merry Christmas and have a great holidays. Enjoying this review. Cheers!

[@13partnership]

This Korean car seems do be so much better ,so far out, so gut. I think I`ve to visit my local dealer tomorrow...

[@williammckenna7420]

Great review, thanks! I'm desperate to get into EV but, every time I think I've decided, I read about next years model will have a much extended range. At this rate I'm never going to make the change.

[@sergeyyevtukh388]

Hi Bjorn, thanks so much for super informative video review,. Just want to share with you some tricks from my experience of driving in frozen rain conditions. For next time you hit that frozen rain, use hot/boiling water, it's quickens the process dramatically... I want it to tell you that last time you had same issue with Tessa radar, but had trouble posting a comment. But now I see you have little electric kettle with you on trips that's makes it very convenient, just be careful not to poor very hot water on windshield so it could cracks, but I'm sure you will figure it off the right temperature of water to poor over frozen windshield wipers and ice... And of course Mary Christmas to you and your family, have a great time in Thailand!

[@sheriftaher4847]

Fortum is a 3rd generation cephalosporin (antibiotic) in my country 😊 gr8 video 👍

[@Shoaib1973Www]

Hi there. Great video, thanks Bjørn. About the handels, they light up. But if you touch the black square on the handle, it would have opened up the door aswell Bjørn, you dont need to bring up the key :)

[@Hak_4d]

Forget the car Norway looks amazing

[@victorradu9645]

to clean my wipers from ice, I usually drop them on the windshield from about 10 cm above and most of the ice falls down. to unlock the doors, you have to push the black button on the handle

[@rendezvous0000]

Your're always informative, thank you!

[@kalaniruiz3065]

To unlock the car you press the black button on the door handle you don't really need to use the key to open it

[@13soxs]

Very good 2nd part, will sub now, good luck with future tests.....

[@Chrisb8s]

So relaxing, I would like to to test drive that Hyundai, we don't have it in the USA yet.. I rented a hybrid sonata and was shocked at the mpg for such a great big car.

[@devalsays]

there is black button on door handle so pretty sure he can press that and unlock car if key is with him .. he is noob ...! lolz.. but i appreciate him for his efforts what he does in this frozen place...

[@Dinty51]

Deval Upadhyay I guess that button is actually like old school technology now for a lot of people. They're used to sensors on the back of the handle for opening.

[@babybirdhome]

To be honest, it's a little weird that it doesn't have that feature, because it made its first appearance back in at least 2003 on the Prius, and possibly earlier on something like a Mercedes but I'm not sure. So it's weird to have cars made in 2016 that have lots of high tech features but not that one.

[@arenjay3278]

Cool it is Sunday and Christmas is in one week.

[@k238908]

It will be interesting to see if the range on the ampere e / chevy bolt forces tesla to increase the size of the standard battery pack on the model 3 when it comes out. They said originally a range of 215 miles plus, so I cant see them not wanting to offer a range over an above the other standard electric cars.

[@btnbiker]

Great vid thank you, my Silver SE arrived at its UK dealer today for delivery to me next week Yeaaaaa

[@khan-hg6em]

great,, seeing this i guess heated wipers must be introduced for cars too, esp for these cold weather conditions

[@royoberollei6864]

Bjorn, Can you comment more regarding the paddle shifters? I like the fact that it allows ad hoc control of regen levels, something which no other EV can do. Sometimes I want to glide, sometimes I want strong regen. It's cool to be able to paddle shift it. Everybody wins.

[@NajZelenijizub]

There are Bjorn comments regrading that feature in the 1st part.

[@clarksonbarry]

I can do something similar using brake and eco mode in my Leaf

[@trefod]

I'm sure it will unlock if you press the black square on the door handle.

[@reerbaadia1896]

trefod try pressing that button in this condition. its probably frozen stiff.

[@Michael-qd6gt]

PRESS the black button on the handle can lock or unlock the car, keyless feature, btw love the channel, have fun.

[@showme360]

Hi Bjørn one thing you could add is review, which would be interesting, can you run the heater whilst charging the car?

[@VJW1407]

Bjørn, how about adding charging duration to the consumption info you show in your videos? The time it takes to recharge is/can be an issue on a longer trip for some and the charge time info summary would be useful. Total drive time and total charge time. Btw my dealer told me the ccs charger supports up to 150kw charge rates.

[@rogerhudson9732]

No front screen heating wires ( even my 1998 Land rover has that)? i assume the heater is on high while at a fast charger?

[@jimwhitehead1532]

Looks like the Ioniq will give the Bolt some real competition. In your profit at the end, you listed $15 for "Depreciation", which normally means mileage wear over years. Did you mean you spent $15 for the cleaning supplies (windshield washer fluids?).

[@Alekpowah]

The lane-assist function is not there so that you can fiddle with your bottles or mobile phone without holding the wheel.

[@dennislyon5412]

Interesting to see how low the kWh usage is on this car for such a cold day (weekend?). It seems like Ioniq may be capable of 200 watt/mi on a warm day when driven at lower highway speeds - seemingly amazing performance (efficiency). Perhaps it's the new class leader? This efficiency makes the 28 kWh battery seem to be about right for a low cost/light weight car, and all of the toys it offers is just icing on the cake. Consider that the more than 2x capacity battery in the Bolt adds about 500 lbs (and a longer charge time), which makes me ask: is a big range worth it to have that much extra weight to carry around? Ioniq seems to be a good example of raising the bar for EV performance for a commuter/daily driver. Based on comments that I read, everyone seems to be seeking maximum range (which I'd think adds considerable cost) but only time will tell if this lightweight recipe is successful.

[@mauroscimone8584]

I think taht automakers have to find the right balance for range, weight, confort and price

[@jayferret007]

love the Hyundai Ioniq but to get all the fun stuff it costs extra here in Ireland

[@k238908]

Hi again Bjorn, really enjoyed the Ioniq review. I was wondering? The Renault Zoe 2017 model has just been released with a 40kw battery. Not sure what that takes the real world range to, but it should be over that of the Ioniq. If you haven't already reviewed the new Zoe I think you should as the price is being kept the same as the old version. If you had to choose between the new Zoe 40kw and the Ioniq 27kw, which would you go for?

[@Concionator]

Good and experienced review, thanks for that!

[@dubisoft]

I really like this car now! Great review! :D

[@paulb4815]

Another chilled review, nice work. Do you ever sleep? As an editor and someone who edits moving image, I appreciate all the shots where I know you have to go back and get the camera:-)

[@majorvn]

Greetings from Bulgaria, my friend, to cope with the icy rain and ice accumulated on the windshield, you need alcohol, 95 percent (2/3), water (1/3) and liquid soap (100 ml) in a 1 liter bottle. Mix all the ingredients and you'll have miraculous mixture against ice. Then you only have to spray :)

[@volvodashcam]

What about an app to control the heater and overview the charging?! I heard that they do not have that for the Ionic.. That's kind of a dealbreaker for me.. :/

[@StrombockNino]

Awesome review, thanks a lot!

[@vriendelijkegroet]

Nice review. WHat about the latest eGolf with 300km range?. I drove them both and still doubt. The VW is more expensive but you can feel the quality of the car and see where the extra money goes to. And in terms of range/ loading time they are likely equal. But the Ioniq is also good.

[@Kruimeltje1966]

Thanks for the nice review of the ioniq!!

[@thomask1647]

Thanks for the review Bjørn! What's your opinion on performance of the forward wheel drive on snow and ice? My e-Golf is slippery even on rainy roads...

[@SURFpal]

You may want to tell people how you overtake over the centre piles of snow in and between tracks? If you watch russian car crash videos they seems to have full power on both going out and in. In my experince without stability control, speed up in your own lane, coast over the divide, speed up again in the other lane and you may even put it in neutral going back over. Any thoughts?

[@MartinPatoine]

what are the best winter tires for the ioniq?

[@SylverWWA]

The part with the cup noodles... almost died laughing XDDD Ioniq is a great EV, definitely will go for it if Model X is out of reach :)

[@SololaneMvlog]

you have to press the little black button on the door handle to open and then to close the door. you do not need to use the key :) :)

[@mhaddadi]

Thank you for informative video. I ordered one already. I have one question: Will the heat pump work as AC in summer????? Thanks

[@masterquadbiker]

I saw one of these for the first time the other day, it flew past me on the motorway doing 100mph+ done a reg check on an app and it was the hybrid version

[@Wojtekpl2]

A question about that freezing rain. Did the front lamps were covered by ice when You stopped for charging or they were like this when You drive? LEDs do not generate much heat and I wonder if standard halogen (or xenon) bulbs would be better by melting the ice on the lamp surface. With LEDs, in the night and in such conditions or snowing I think, you have to stop every 50 km to clean headlamps covered with snow or ice... Even halogen lamps are melting just the part of the glass, but there is clean part. Not so much in case of the LEDs in Your movie. Hence my question.

[@NajZelenijizub]

Hi Bjorn. What is exactly depreciation cost in this case, is it something related to charging, additional cost or something else? Thanks.

[@clonSanG]

Brilliant test on the Hyundai

[@dozeyy]

Here is what I like more about Leaf (tekna,). The Leaf has clearly better sound, even though it's pretty good in the IONIQ aswell(tech pack). The Tekna has 360 degree camera, perfect when parking. The Leaf feels safer in high speed on the road, when turning, it´s like the Ioniq comes turning/throwing itself after you manuverd the steering wheel with some force. Maybe due to not having the battery in the floor. I like the seats and that you sit a little bit higher in the Leaf. The adaptive cruise control in the IONIQ is probaby very nice to have, but I tell you the Lane assistance is totally useless, many times it can´t find the edge of the E6 in Trondheim on a dry road. If these things arne´t important to you, go for the IONIQ. Side note: The IONIQ will come as a self driving car, I´m not sure if all the quipment is in place for that. Maybe it´s worth waiting for the next version. Also Conisder that the delivery might not be until late spring or(next batch) the end of the summer if you order now in Norway, that means Opel Ampera-e will be just around the corner, with twice the range. The range is also just a little bit better than the 30kwh Leaf. 17 vs 19 (EPA).

[@gregplatt3927]

"Fire up the car." That is a old term for gassers, energize, is proper for EV's. Think starship Enterprize.

[@GadgeteerFarm]

Do you think there's any problems with overheating like in the Leaf 30kWh if you go fast and use fast charging? Is there a tow hitch option for this car?

[@aukanmeister]

It does not seem to list that as an option on Huyndai's web page. Tow hitch, that is..

[@reerbaadia1896]

Lars Löwgren Nolan is very extensive. if he experienced that, he would have shared it.

[@reerbaadia1896]

Lars Löwgren Nolan is very extensive. if he experienced that, he would have shared it.

[@tenoks1]

Hi Bjørn. On your non-Tesla trips, maybe you can write down total time charging and total price for juice?

[@rogerhudson9732]

I imagine the tyre choice , winter tyres but how about rolling resistance economy ?

[@schinsky6833]

Awesome videos! In your videos I really get to know a lot about the life with a EV. But what kind of tasks do you do? Nimble tasks?

[@killerkhan]

the ioniq looks like a solid EV

[@eba255]

Thy Ionic is quite good, but the most efficient car is still the Tesla Roadster. As you did drive, you could expect 120-140Wh/km with the Roadster. My Minimum at Highway at 85-90Km/h was around 105-108Wh/km.

[@pbasswil]

I've heard that these cars are more prone to window fogging & frosting than other cars. Anybody else experience this??

[@terryrodbourn2793]

Looks like you need an ice scraper!

[@ghostindamachine]

Do cars in Norway drive on studded winter tires?

[@gp2003gt]

Thank you from Canada.

[@Fesslmonster]

Thank you lots for this cool Ioniq Review. The car looks fantastic. Did you get any problems with driving on snow or was everything fine?

[@ChrisCollins01]

Do you not use deicer in Norway? A quick spray would melt that ice away and keep it away for a good while.

[@gertahnstrom784]

Not when it's -7 C (19 F) and raining.^^

[@victorseal9047]

A question Bjørn ; on a old presentation you left your model S in a airport car park for I think it was 3 weeks, what was the battery drain during that period ?? Merci.

[@bjornnyland]

Victor Seal It went from 90 to 70 % in 4 weeks.

[@TheRealChristoffer]

Kjører du varer på oppdrag eller for venner? Fin video

[@hanswurst1660]

can you tell me how much the kWh costs to charge on those fortum chargers?

[@schade12]

how much did you pay for it and what do you think about tesla model 3 do you get it after ioniq later

[@andrewwareham9811]

The freezing rain must of added a lot of weight to the car, 50kg?

[@karlbloss]

I may have missed it, but is the battery pack liquid cooled? I saw no indication of the battery pack heating up with multiple DC Quick charges. Is there actually a battery temp gauge?

[@bjornnyland]

Karl Bloss It's liquid cooled. But no temp gauge.

[@davidbryant2872]

Does the auto steering work on undivided roads? Any limits on speeds, as in Tesla? Any other major differences from Tesla's?

[@bjornnyland]

DAVID BRYANT It works on undivided roads. It's not as steady as Tesla. But the radar was working all times despite freezing rain.

[@Hazzer2007]

It looks like the Vauxhall/Opel Ampera (Chevy Volt)

[@EVAddicted]

I saw you did a lot of quick charging sessions. Isn't it there recommended daily limit for Ioniq? In my Nissan Leaf owner's manual they recommend not to exceed more than 2 quick charging session per day. Nissan support told me since the DC charge heats up the battery this is why frequent DC charging sessions are harmful for the battery.

[@OYeahan]

'Cause Leaf doesn't have any real battery temperature management system. Ioniq EV likely has liquid cooled/heated battery and power electronics; need to check. Also don't know about newer Leafs, did they improve them?

[@kubben1]

What was the total cost of charging during this trip?

[@jimwhitehead1532]

You said: "I want to go to Mars." Google maps found a Mars city in the state of Pennsylvania (PA). If you ever visit the East Coast, be sure to go to Mars. There is also funny cities like Intercourse PA. One guy who said his mother horrified his Grandmother by writing on a postcard: "Sorry I didn't write. I stopped in the middle of Intercourse to write this." :-)

[@kubben1]

What about the headlights Bjørn, are they any good? High beam and low beam. Is it LED or Xenon? cheeRS

[@bjornnyland]

LED low beam and halogen high beams. The high beams are known to be weak on Ioniq. On this car, the high beams were upgraded.

[@MisterHallo]

are you living in the north of norway?

[@dradeel]

Kjører samme rute med min Leaf 24 kWh til jul. Jeg håper virkelig ikke jeg blir utsatt for samme underkjølte regn med solid is på vindusviskerne under kjøring! Haha.

[@Jose-js7ke]

if the car only haded heated screen wipers You have to stop. does it have any?

[@Jose-js7ke]

Ronald de Rooij Yea That's what I meant lol sorry

[@KaneTheMessiah]

Many new modern cars have heated windscreens as optional. I know the latest Volvos have it.

[@stephanbrenner3317]

happy christmas Bjorn. Did you wake up that early this day? excited about the presents 😄

[@HakaTech]

Stephan Brenner He is in Vietnam, I think? This video was recorded on a Sunday.

[@stephanbrenner3317]

Twabourne & Louis LLP okay. that makes things clear...

[@artokiiskinen1058]

any comments on the road noise level or the comfort of the seats compared to other cars?

[@bjornnyland]

+Arto Kiiskinen Very good comfort on the seats. Legroom could be better. Noise level is very good but not on the same level as e-Golf.

[@smashICE1]

I'm totally excited about the Ioniq. The only thing that's holding me back is that Hyundai does not mention any kind of battery upgrade will be available when upcoming generations will have a larger battery. Like with the Renault Zoe. They will provide a upgrade package to just double the battery size. Nonetheless, the Ioniq will be available at my local dealer in February - I'll definitively will check this awesome car out! Thanks so much for your review!
